Five Stars
Readers' Favorite Award - Rated Five Stars - Reviewed on 04/01/22 by Tom Gauthier for Readers' Favorite.
Tom Gauthier states, "As a veteran, trained by the very generation of soldiers pictured in this story, I could feel, smell, and taste everything Giacomo wrote. My very real bias came from the fact that I served in Combat Intelligence and my "final examination exercise" in school was the simulation of manning the CP of a unit about to come under attack by the Communist Chinese in Seoul, Korea, receiving the same reports from the field in the same sequence over a twenty-four-hour period. Though I missed MacKenzie's war by six years, Angel Giacomo delivered memories that took me back sixty-four years. Giacomo's Forged in Fire and Blood is militarily correct, humanly sensitive, skillfully written, and pure pleasure for this old veteran to read. My recommendation of his work could not be higher."

My favorite parts of this book had to do with Jackson MacKenzie's time with his horses--and even going on to the Olympics! The description of his early military service plus time at West Point all rang true. The author spends time verifying facts and making this story as true to real life as possible. The book gives a glimpse into military culture that allows someone from the outside to understand it more fully. Some of the battle scenes (Korea) were relatively graphic so be forewarned but if you've ever watched the nightly news or some popular movies you can handle it.
